Abstract: Pompe de pulvérisation servant à distribuer une quantité de liquide sous forme de fines gouttelettes. Le mécanisme de pompe est entièrement réalisé en plastique y compris les soupapes (10) d'entrée et de sortie, le piston (4), le boîtier (1) de la pompe et le ressort (18). Cette structure permet de recycler facilement la pompe. La pompe peut également comprendre deux ressorts (118, 135) de sollicitation, dans ce cas le premier ressort (118) ne sert qu'à renvoyer le piston (104) de la pompe et le deuxième ressort (135) ne sert qu'à solliciter la soupape de sortie. Ceci permet à la personne qui fait fonctionner la pompe de n'appuyer verticalement que contre la force du premier ressort (118). Il résulte de cet agencement de sollicitation qu'une force de mise en ÷uvre moins importante est nécessaire pour faire fonctionner la pompe.

Abstract: Erythrocyte exclusion membranes suited for test strips of electrochemical sensors have a porous matrix and a mobile erythrocyte aggregating agent. The membranes typically comprise a water-insoluble hydrophobic polymer incorporating a hydrophilic polymer and with the erythrocyte aggregating agent. Such membranes can have a pore size which is several times larger than the diameter of erythrocytes, and allow rapid passage of plasma by holding back the erythrocytes as rouleaux at the surface of the membrane. The membranes are preferably made by forming in situ on a test strip using spray casting.

Abstract: A computer system is provided including a processor and a parallel port configured to transfer data to or from a peripheral device. The parallel port includes a data buffer for receiving data transferred on a system bus when the processor executes a write cycle to the parallel port. A control unit associated with the parallel port decodes the address signals of the system bus to selectively latch data within the data buffer, and generates handshake signals to the peripheral device to indicate that write data is presently contained within the data buffer. The peripheral device consequently receives the data and provides an acknowledge signal to the control unit. The control unit thereafter generates a ready signal to indicate to the processor that the data has been written into the peripheral device. A time-out counter is coupled to the control unit to determine whether the peripheral device has returned the acknowledge signal within a predetermined time-out period after the control unit asserts the handshake signal to the peripheral device indicating that data is available at the parallel port. If the time-out period expires and the peripheral device did not return an acknowledge signal, the control unit releases the processor from the current cycle by asserting the ready signal on the system bus. The control unit further asserts an error flag within a status register to indicate that a failure occurred. In response to assertion of the error flag, the control unit asserts an interrupt signal which effectively alerts the processor of a failure. The processor thereafter executes code from an interrupt service routine during which the status register may be read to determine that the failure was associated with the parallel port. The parallel port is also associated with a configuration register that controls whether a non-maskable interrupt or a parallel port interrupt is asserted in response to the assertion of the error flag. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Permeability of the blood-brain barrier and other physiological barriers can be modulated by the degree of tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins. Agents which promote tyrosine protein dephosphorylation reduce the permeability of the blood-brain barrier and those which promote phosphorylation increase permeability. Increasing blood-brain barrier permeability is useful in delivering drugs having a desired effect upon the central nervous system; decreasing blood-brain barrier permeability and other physiological barrier permeability is useful in preventing undesired compounds reaching the CNS and in certain clinical conditions.

Abstract: A positioning device for an optical device is formed of two substantially parallel mounting plates which extend laterally outward from a headband. Each mounting plate has two vertically elongated slots cut in it. The slots closest to the headband (proximal) are in alignment with each other, as are the distal slots on the two mounting plates. Attached to the headband between the two mounting plates is an adjustable stop, such as a threaded rod and nut. The mounting plates and adjustable stop accept an optical device such as an ophthalmoscope having a mounting block affixed to a surface thereof. The mounting block is formed from a body having a hole extending therethrough for receiving a pivot pin. The hole is substantially parallel to the surface of the optical device to which the mounting block is affixed. The mounting block also has two spring loaded balls disposed partially within the body at opposing ends of a line through the body which is parallel to the hole in the body and located below the hole. The mounting block is inserted between the mounting plates, and the pivot pin is inserted through the proximal slot in the first mounting plate, the hole in the body of the mounting block and the proximal slot in the second mounting plate. When fixed to the mounting plates, the position of the mounting block relative to the elongated slots is fixed against unintentional movements by a friction washer or spring. The mounting block pivots into a position resting against the adjustable stop. This position can be changed to accommodate the wearer of the headband. To move the optical device out of the way, the device and mounting block are pivoted upward until the spring loaded balls engage with the distal slots in the mounting plates.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a syringe sterilization and disposal unit which utilizes a micro-processor controlled artificial intelligence for operation of the necessary functions to render a used syringe safe for disposal. The syringe sterilization unit includes an "opto-sensor" for signaling the positioning of the syringe for further clamping and processing operations. The lure of a syringe to be processed is exposed to heat from the heat heads to effect separation of the needle. The needle tip gripper jaw heads extract the syringe needle from the syringe body. The heat heads are further used to compress the lure of the syringe body to seal the syringe cavity. The extracted needle is then heated by a needle tip contactor for sterilization whereupon the needle and the sealed syringe cavity are then positioned into an appropriate bin for disposal and/or recycling.
